⊶⊷
The first week of school passed very quickly. Jungkook got used to a certain routine and the fact that he hated the math teacher. Every time he was about to enter his class, JK would grimace and curse profusely. He also made sure the right sleeve of his shirt was pulled tight to hide his tattoo. The man was very strict about it and Jungkook wondered at what point he would make him wear a glove to cover the tattoos on his hand as well.
The only thing that got him through those classes was Yoongi, who hated math just as much as Jungkook did. When they sat in the last row, they talked shit about the hated man, and usually, these conversations had to be heavily censored. The white-haired boy was more outgoing than before, but Jungkook didn't really see him outside class. He disappeared without a word the moment math classes ended as if they didn't know each other at all. When he asked Jimin about it, he said it was normal for Yoongi, so he wasn't about to dwell further.
One of the evenings he also invited Jimin to his place. They had a fun night playing video games until dawn and reminiscing about the good old days. The smile was glued to Jungkook's lips all this time and he couldn't remember the last time he was so happy. So far everything was going his way. Everything started to make sense again. Finally.
The following Monday was really hot and Jungkook didn't feel like going to school at all. He grimaced as he put books from his backpack into his locker, cursing over the number of classes he had scheduled for today. Especially the first one—math. He growled and shut his locker loudly only to find Lisa standing just behind it. He flinched a little, not expecting to see her, and tried to remain calm when she smiled at him coquettishly.
"Cookie. It's been a week and you still haven't called me," she pouted.
He completely forgot about a pink note he put into the pocket of his jeans last week. The one with the girl's phone number. He also forgot about the girl even though before he thought it was impossible to do so. Somehow everything that happened in the first week made him too busy to socialize even more. Even so, despite Jimin's warning, he would like to try this type of socialization.
"Ah... right... just..." he tried to find words but failed. It was hard to find an excuse while the girl was staring at him like that. He was busted the moment he opened his mouth.
"Jimin told you not to?" she asked suddenly, but before he could protest, even if it was true, Lisa continued, "Sometimes you have to listen to your heart instead. Or something else when it comes to these things."
She dropped her gaze but this time Jungkook wasn't brave enough to follow. He knew perfectly well what she had on her mind but it wasn't the best place for such conversations. Again the straightforwardness of the blonde was pretty much impressive, maybe even attractive, but he had to be extremely careful with such behavior and decisions, pushing all his weird temptations and desires aside.
